This follows news just released from the California Governor’s office that 17.7% of all new cars sold in California are zero-emission vehicles ("ZEVs”), according to the California Energy Commission. The ZEV share of sales is up 42.7% from 2021 and 126.9% from 2020.

Participants at the tour stop were highly impressed by the vehicle and the updated infotainment system featuring PERSONA, which is Mullen’s proprietary Personal Vehicle Assistant technology.  PERSONA, featuring facial recognition technology, is designed to provide every driver with a highly personalized experience in the Mullen FIVE.

Feedback from some of the tour participants is highlighted below.  These reviews can also be viewed on Mullen’s YouTube channel found here:

• “I can’t imagine how the RS is going to be, it’s going to be phenomenal. Regen (regenerative braking) felt solid; it strikes that battery right back and slows the car down .... That infotainment is killer; I love the way it looks, the sleekness of that, and how it’s situated on the dash. It’s crystal clear and brilliant; a lot of information going on there. It’s going to be a great car.”
• “Very impressive, it rides so smooth. I also really like the dash.”
• “I really enjoyed the car, I enjoyed how it was appointed inside. I compared it to some other electric cars I’ve been in, and I didn’t see as much body roll when going around the corners. It appears to be more like a driving experience.”
• “Just looking at the vehicle aesthetically, the design is beautiful. The physical quality Is great.”

Due to high demand and limited seating on tour, Mullen is currently working with a film crew to produce a short film that will allow those unable to attend in person an opportunity to experience the FIVE. 

Mullen’s next stop is on Nov. 1 and 2 at the Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, which was recently included as an additional stop due to overwhelming interest. From there, Mullen Automotive takes the “Strikingly Different” Tour to Las Vegas, Nevada, on Nov. 10 and 11.
